The 20th year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, April 27.

After inquiries by the Blue Fly Division, more than 1,000 defenders of the Great Realm who were supposed to be on the way to Fuluochuan to suppress bandits disappeared en masse.

When the news came back to Chang'an, Emperor Qin was furious, and it was rumored that he would thoroughly investigate the officialdom of the Great Realm and replace many generals of the Great Realm military. And an official of the Zongren Mansion led people to the East China Sea King Mansion to interrogate Fu Yang, the king of the East China Sea.

"In recent days, only the defenders of the Great Realm have been mobilized in the Gyeonggi region with more than 1,000 people, and Mo Wei is missing, so it is basically certain that the group of thieves on Wujiang Mountain is the defenders of the Great Realm."

When Pei Shengqin arrived at the Nan'an Palace, Fu Deng was waiting at the door, obviously expecting Pei Shengqin to come.

"Qixiu, come in and talk." Fu Deng grabbed Pei Shengqin, and the two entered the mansion in a row.

Fu Deng said: "I heard that Fu Yang is on trial, if it is really found out that it is a thief arranged by him, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed." ”

Although Emperor Qin was tolerant of other things to Fu Yang, he could never bear the stabbing thing.

Pei Shengqin nodded, if Mo Wei and those rebels had no accident, they would have basically died in Wujiang Mountain. His Majesty held his breath and had nowhere to spill, if Fu Yang was found out, he would inevitably bear His Majesty's wrath.

"I'm just curious, in Xinping Temple, even Xinping Taishou knows that Mo Wei is from Fuyang, so it can be seen that this is not a secret, and His Majesty seems to have known about this for a long time. In that case, why could Mo Wei still sit in the position of the Great Realm Guardian for so many years? Pei Shengqin asked.

"It stands to reason that none of the generals who can command the army in Gyeonggi can have obvious factions. Even if they secretly form a party, they will never dare to show the news, otherwise the court will remove them as soon as possible. But it was an accident. Fu Deng pondered for a moment and said: "This is also a royal secret, although there is no shortage of people who know about it, but it is not a glorious thing after all, Qixiu still don't spread it outside after hearing it." ”

After seeing Pei Shengqin nodding, Fu Deng said: "That Mo Wei is the general of Emperor Wenhuan, loyal to Emperor Wenhuan, and His Majesty has not taken care of him when he was young, and treats him as an elder. In the great change in the third year of Shouguang, Mo Wei also made great contributions, and once worshiped the general of the chariot and cavalry. It's a pity that this person is loyal when he succeeds, and he is loyal when he loses. Emperor Wenhuan, leaving all the sons, Mo Wei because of the Qinghe King Fu Fa for the long, has always regarded it as the master, and when His Majesty's fake queen mother gave the death of the Qinghe Queen, Mo Wei was dissatisfied with His Majesty, and even threatened that if the widow of the Qinghe King went on a business trip, he would not hesitate to splash blood five steps! ”

"Isn't it a great rebellion that he dared to say such a thing?" Pei Shengqin couldn't help but exclaim, and the blood splashed five steps in anger, this sentence has been a metaphor for killing the king since ancient times.

"Your Majesty remembers Mo Wei's kindness for many years of care and teaching, and the other is that he is indeed ashamed of King Qinghe, even if Mo Wei is unruly and even says a great rebellion, His Majesty has never condemned him. just demoted him out of Chang'an and transferred him to the Great Realm as a guard, so that he could be out of sight. And Mo Wei has been openly maintaining correspondence with Fu Yang, the king of the East China Sea, for many years, and His Majesty knows it, but he has not taken care of it. ”

Listening to Fu Deng's words, Pei Shengqin was speechless for a while, and he really didn't know what to say. Pei Shengqin felt that Emperor Qin should either have more mind and not move the law back then; Since they all killed Fu Fa, they should be ruthless and simply beat all of Fu Fa to death. I have to find a way to kill Fu Fa, but I keep the people under Fu Fa, isn't this looking for trouble for myself?

However, after thinking about it, Fu Fa had the power of abolishing the establishment back then, and the virtue of making the emperor, coupled with the power of the government and the opposition, it can be said that the real virtue is all over the world. Emperor Qin will inevitably think, today Fu Fa can give up the throne to him, and in the future, he will not be able to take the throne back from him? Whoever is in the position of Emperor Qin, I am afraid that he will not be able to help but do something to Fu Fa, this is human nature. It is difficult to deal with Fu Fa, and it is even more difficult to dispose of Fu Fa's subordinates, after all, Fu Fa and Emperor Qin are brothers, both are the sons of Emperor Wenhuan, and the two are close, and even many people regard him as a family, and at the same time serve the two of them as the main one. If it really wants to be liquidated, who are some of these people, I am afraid that Emperor Qin himself will not be able to tell the difference. In addition, some people like Mo Wei did not threaten the imperial power, and Emperor Qin couldn't bear to attack them.

"By the way, there is one more thing this time, since the twelfth year of the founding of the first century, there has been no war in Longxi for many years, and now the armament must be somewhat relaxed, right?"

Fu Deng was very curious, and he didn't know why Pei Shengqin suddenly mentioned the Longxi military, but he still nodded and replied truthfully: "But if the army has been peaceful for a long time, it is inevitable to be a little lax. ”

Not only Longxi, but also the entire Great Qin Dynasty, except for the southern Xinjiang and the Jin Dynasty, which bordered the prefectures and counties, the rest of the places had slackened their armaments. The laxity here does not refer to a decline in the quality of the sergeants, but a serious decline in the speed of the army's reactions, mainly because it has not been a war for too long. Take last year's southern expedition as an example, at the beginning of the year, the imperial court had a proposal, and the division was planned in midsummer, but it was not until the end of August that the imperial army could not reach southern Xinjiang, and some partial divisions like the Yizhou sailors had just drawn out of camp. Some people may think that after all, it is a battle to destroy the country, and it is understandable to mobilize for a long time, but the world knows that the Great Qin Dynasty once swept away several countries in one year.

In contrast, it is said that the armament is lax now, and there is no problem at all.

Pei Shengqin hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "If you can, Wen Gao had better inform Mao Shuai, and start rectifying military affairs now in case of emergency." ”

"What does Qixiu mean by this?" Fu Deng was furious, his eyes were clear, and he said word by word: "Doesn't Qixiu want to persuade me to follow His Majesty's example? I have acted all my life, and I think I am worthy of heaven and earth. Even if you have great ambitions, you have to inherit the throne in a dignified manner, how can you use those ghost tricks! ”

It's no wonder that Fu Deng thinks a lot, now that there is no war in Longxi, Pei Shengqin inexplicably reminded him to rectify military affairs, what did he do? Could it be that he wanted to learn Shouguang for three years and let this Chang'an City bleed again?

Pei Shengqin was stunned for a moment, and also realized that he didn't make it clear, which made Fu Deng misunderstand. Hurriedly shook his head and said: "That's not the case, I just think that the world may change, and the army will be reorganized in advance, after all, it is prepared!" ”

"That's all?" Fu Deng glanced at Pei Shengqin suspiciously.

Pei Shengqin nodded firmly, looked into Fu Deng's eyes and said: "Although the battle of the Southern Expedition last year has passed, and most of the turbulent undercurrents have been suppressed, but the world is still more or less turbulent, and Tuoba Jue's chaos in the north is a clear proof, and it is necessary to prepare early." ”

After confirming that Pei Shengqin did not instigate him to mutiny and seize the throne, Fu Deng's expression softened, and he muttered: "In this case, I will send a letter to my father-in-law later, and ask my father-in-law to pay attention to the rectification of Longxi's military equipment." ”

Seeing that Fu Deng agreed, Pei Shengqin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

This time from Wujiang Mountain back to Beijing, Pei Shengqin thought about the three things the most along the way, in addition to the strange old monk and the sudden thief soldier, he was also lamenting the inertia of history.

Pei Shengqin has always felt that there is a force in the underworld, which is trying to push history back to its original trajectory, and Pei Shengqin will call this force historical inertia. For example, a few months ago, Tuoba Jue proclaimed himself the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Hua Mulan Shi Northern Wei Dynasty, and the establishment of the Rouran Protectorate who was born to resist the Wei Dynasty, and this time the Qin Emperor climbed Wujiang Mountain, and then was in distress in Xinping Temple.

All of these things happened in the original history, and the history of this life has long since changed, but these events have also reappeared in a different situation. Even if the time, beginning, process, and ending of the events are far from the original history, the appearance of these events is already something worthy of vigilance.

Since historical inertia can make these events reappear, will more traitors who have not yet rebelled finally rebel under the impetus of this historical inertia, as they did in the original history? Will this Great Qin world be like the original history, and it will be difficult to escape a funeral after all? Pei Shengqin didn't know, he didn't know if the wings of his little butterfly could resist the powerful historical inertia.

Because of this, he hurried over and reminded Fu Deng to prepare early, just in case.

After explaining to Fu Deng, Pei Shengqin left the thunderous land and returned home alone. As for Shi Yue, he had his own house, and after returning to the city, he went home.

Back at the Zitong Mansion, Pei Shengqin found Magu for the first time.

"Look at this, what might you see?"

Magu held the peach talisman in her hand, watched it repeatedly, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and said: "I can only see that this thing is not good, there is an indescribable atmosphere, and the runes on it are even more strange and difficult to understand, not like the mark of the world." ”

Pei Shengqin was slightly disappointed, stretched out his hand and said, "It is said that those runes are ancient golden texts that have been lost for thousands of years, I don't know if they are true or fake." If you don't understand it, give it back to me, I'll go to Xu Yujie and let his father take a look. ”

"Xu Tong is indeed a master of the Dao, but what he is good at is the art of matchmaking, not the way of runes. If you ask him, most of the time it won't work. Magu became interested in this ancient talisman, and did not return it to Pei Shengqin, but put it in her arms: "Just stay with me, let me study it for a while, maybe I can gain something." ”

It is not far from the last assassination incident, and the real culprit of the first assassination has not yet been identified. This time, there was another rebellion against Emperor Qin, and for a while, the world was in an uproar.

A few days later, the Criminal Department officially confirmed that it was Mo Wei, the general of the Great Realm, who caused the rebellion this time. The corpses of the thieves left on the Five Generals Mountain are the more than 1,000 defenders of the Great Realm who went out to suppress the bandits but disappeared halfway. On the other hand, Fu Yang, the king of the East China Sea, refused to admit that he had anything to do with Mo Wei, and when asked about the rebellion, he deduced that he didn't know. In the absence of evidence, Emperor Qin did not forcibly punish the King of the East China Sea, but only ordered the Blue Fly Division to strictly guard him.

This rebellion was finally concluded in a hurry because Mo Wei was dissatisfied with the imperial court and induced the soldiers to launch a rebellion.

After this incident, the happiest person was the Jin Dynasty mission headed by Shi San.

The last time the Jin Dynasty mission was assassinated, it was a lot of suspicion, and even the deputy envoy Ji Kuang was imprisoned, and it was only because of Shi Dao'an that the Qin Emperor did not investigate deeply. After that time, the Jin Dynasty delegation was inevitably not welcomed, and the matter of meeting the Qin Emperor to submit his credentials was also put on hold. If they can't hand in their credentials, they won't be able to complete their tasks and they won't be able to return to China. Especially until now, the real murderer has not been found, and the Jin Dynasty mission lives in Honglu Temple these days, and it is really frightened.

However, this rebellion brought a turn for the better, and there were two consecutive rebellions against the Qin Emperor, and many people speculated that these two rebellions were committed by the same force. Some people think that the first assassination was Mo Weixun's assassin, and some people think that there is a black hand behind Mo Wei, and it is this black hand who planned the assassination and Mo Wei's rebellion. The King of the East Sea is obviously very suitable for the mastermind behind the scenes, but unfortunately there is no evidence of guilt...... No matter what everyone guesses, this rebellion has greatly reduced the suspicion of the Jin Dynasty mission - the reason is very simple, if you can mobilize the guards of the Great Realm to make a rebellion, it must be an internal dump in the Qin Dynasty, and the people of the Jin Dynasty really don't have that ability.

As a result, Shi Sanhuan was happy to see Emperor Qin, and wanted to choose an auspicious day to meet and present the letter of state written by King Jin Tian. Completed the mission early, and it was good to return to Jin.

At the same time, the officers and men of the generals and colonels who came to the rescue on the 27th were all rewarded, among which the armed squad that had been on duty all night was the most rewarded, and the war dead were also given bereavement pensions. Yuguan, Shi Yue, Lei Baddi and other three people were all knighted for their merits. Although they are only the lowest barons, they can be regarded as stepping into the ranks of nobles. If there is merit, there will be punishment, and Xinping Taishou will be the main one, and the officials of Xinping County under him will be punished for the crime of dereliction of duty. The demotion of the degraded, the punishment of the deed.

Of course, Pei Shengqin also has a reward. Although he did not personally go down to guard the temple gate, he blocked a crossbow arrow for Emperor Qin, so he could also share in the rescue work, and it was also the one with the largest profit.

On the day when the reward was issued, it was just in time for Pei Shengqin to make a pair of glasses with glass and send them to Xuan Wenjun. Pei Shengqin was not at home, so Pei Yuanluo took the order on his behalf.

After Pei Shengqin went home, he saw Pei Yuanluo sitting happily in the main hall, and said with a smile: "Wu'er, you have become a waiter of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Pei Shengqin felt a little inexplicable, and said, "Father is confused? As early as when the Jin Dynasty mission entered Beijing, didn't I become a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but unfortunately it was only temporary, and the Jin Dynasty mission had to be dismissed as soon as it left. ”

Speaking of this, Pei Shengqin couldn't help but pout. This is a good position, equivalent to the deputy minister of foreign affairs in later generations. Especially in these years, many of the Shangshu don't care about specific affairs, such as Li Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Pei Shengqin is actually equivalent to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Qin Dynasty now, and even Wang Fuzhi has to consult with him about such a confidential matter as wanting to join Qin.

It's a pity that such a good position is only temporary.

I saw Pei Yuan take out a bright yellow holy decree with a slight smile, raised it towards Pei Shengqin, and said: "Wu'er has a meritorious service in saving the driver this time, and the decree has come from the palace, and the word "temporary generation" can be removed." From now on, Wu'er will be the servant of the Ministry of Rites! ”
